Everything's Getting Worse

Why can’t we have nice things?

I'm trying out a new (to me) Android keyboard.

My main demands are 100% fast accurate swiping (glide typing) and voice input, plus, I want something privacy oriented this time.

FUTO is great. Everything happens on board, including the voice typing, which is rare. Most pull Google for it.

Previously to get swiping that I could tolerate, it required using Gboard or Yandex. Neither one of those has a good privacy reputation.

So far FUTO is a keeper. 👍

I am trying to force myself to give up gboard despite so many years of muscle memory. Futo has been incredible but the anti-correction has been iffy. These setting plus the split for my fold have greatly helped. Oh and the whisper powered voice typing is amazing

I want a system that allows users to prove, using a public/private key pair and nothing else, that they really are who they claim to be online, and to create a web of trust with each other, etc.  "Users" in this case includes me because I would definitely use that.  The two examples I gave, or something close enough, already exist but apart from each other; Keyoxide is the former and the latter is (or was, and I'm not sure which) a project by FUTO called Harbor.  I want all of that in one.  I also want a feature I would probably never use myself, although I still think it should exist because other people would use it, and I think it should exist on principle anyway: you should, ideally, be able to cryptographically prove your real world identity online and vice versa.  That system doesn't already exist AFAIK (and if I'm wrong, please tell me what it's called).  I, personally, have no desire to start using my government name, either here or on any kind af social media anywhere.  However, that is a thing some people do and it apparently makes sense in their case.  So those people should be able to prove that without uploading any official documents, if they want.  People should be able to prove their own claims, create a web of trust with each other, and prove their real world identity if they want to.  People should be able to do that cryptographically, without requiring anything other than said keys—and they should be able to do all of that in the same place and easily.  If we could get to that point, more and more people would do exactly that, and the Internet would change for the better.
